The condition of the academic profession today is examined with a focus on the teaching and research functions in the academy. The diverse settings in which academics work are considered in three parts: (1) the foundations of the academic profession (the evolution of institutions; the elaboration of disciplines; and the open system); (2) the dimensions of academic professionalism (the imperatives of academic work; the enclosures of culture; the grip of authority; the promises of career; and the ties of association); and (3) the logic of the profession. Three judgments on the logic of the academic profession in America deal with: the hegemony of subjects; the dual commitment of academics to subjects and institutions, which greatly strengthens centrifugal forces in the profession; and the nature of research and teaching as human activities that promote the tendency for academic life to remain a calling. Appended are research focus and procedures; American disciplinary associations (1985); supplementary tables on the imperatives of academic work, the enclosures of culture, and the promises of career. Contains 11 pages of references and 17 tables. (SM)
